What is the big link?
Combining is actually two things in the night sky that seem to be similar together. You will see the moon almost every month as it begins to approach a planet. There are rare celestial connections.
So links are illusions, unnecessary visual phenomena. After all, from a distance of 238,900 miles, the Moon orbits the Earth and seems to be closest to the most distant planets (for example, Mars is currently 44 million miles from Earth).
What’s behind the big link?
The dynamic orbits of the planets merge. Although it takes 29 Earth years to complete a complete orbit around Saturn, it takes 12 Earth years for Jupiter. The arithmetic is simple; They share the same part of the night sky every 19 years as seen from Earth, which zips very fast around the sun.
